Artist Sylvia Maier gifts us with an intimate portrait of her soul as she takes us on a journey from her childhood, growing up in 70s New York as the only daughter of biracial musician parents, through healing the pain of an abusive father by seeking out and painting beauty. She tells us why, having cared for her dying mother, she is no longer afraid of dying herself, why trust was the biggest risk she has ever taken, and she gets real about her identity as mother, artist, and person of color, all while navigating ideals around personal value in an all too material world. “I try to bridge my own contradictions, my own struggles with the world and my inner life. And for me, currency has always been about achieving your ultimate potential. That is your highest level of currency. It’s that you come to this planet and then you fulfill your potential.”
